One of the best things I saw in the Philippines two months ago was a board in the local supermarket with photographs of shoplifters who'd been caught. Some were photgraphed holding the goods they tried to steal.

I'm all for naming and shaming. As a parent I don't want paedos anywhere near my kids, but detailing where they live is bound to lead to reprisals. Is that a good thing? They should be locked up really for everyones safety.
